Can't move a window with mouse

[David]

:-D

I should not reply to mails like this, but I am a good person so let's go
:-)

If you have this behaviour, then the options are:

a) You made something very wrong.
b) You have a Linux distribution [[that is not Debian]] in an epoch with
bugs.

Possible solutions:

a) Try to find out what you made wrong. Alternatively, try reinstalling
kwin, and overwriting the old configuration files.
b) Try upgrading the packages.

Or the solution that always works: format and install [[Debian]] Linux from
scratch (not the distribution LFS, I mean: install Linux from the
beginning... :-D  ).

In the meantime, you can move the window by clicking and dragging on any
point inside while pressing the Alt key. And you can replace the upper right
buttons with the menu that appears after clicking on the upper left button
(this is valid for Kwin, I do not know about compiz).
